A lightning-fast desktop app for managing AI client configurations with visual editing, version control, and instant switching between Claude, Codex, Gemini, and more.
Main Interface - Monaco Editor with Prompt Library
Managing multiple AI tool configurations (.claude/CLAUDE.md, .codex/AGENTS.md, .gemini/GEMINI.md) is painful:
- β Switching between AI clients requires manual file editing
- β No version control means no easy rollback
- β Reusing prompts across projects is tedious
- β Keeping track of changes is impossible
System Prompt Vault solves this with:
- π Instant Client Switching: Toggle between Claude, Codex, Gemini in seconds
- π¨ Professional Editor: Monaco Editor (VS Code core) with syntax highlighting, undo/redo
- πΈ Snapshot Management: Auto/manual snapshots with FIFO cleanup and tray recovery
- π·οΈ Smart Tagging: Filter prompts by tags, auto-detect client labels
- π Live File Watching: Real-time detection of config file changes
- π i18n + Themes: English/Chinese UI with light/dark mode
- π― Zero Frameworks: Vanilla JS + Rust + Tauri v2 for maximum performance
- Add custom AI clients with config paths (e.g.,
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) - Switch active client from dropdown menu
- Auto-tag prompts by client type
- Create, edit, delete prompts with Monaco Editor
- Apply prompts to active client config in one click
- Import/export prompt collections for backup
- Multi-tag filtering with dropdown selector
- Search by name or content
- Recent tags auto-remembered
- Auto Snapshots: Created on app launch (max 10, FIFO cleanup)
- Manual Snapshots: User-triggered with custom labels (max 20)
- Tray Restore: Recover previous configs from system tray menu
- Dark/Light theme with system preference detection
- Responsive layout with Tailwind CSS
- Accessible keyboard navigation (ARIA compliant)
- Rust 1.70+: Install Rust
- Bun 1.0+: Install Bun (or npm)
- OS: macOS / Windows / Linux
